pop quiz

[PhilLew]

Hi Guys, Trying to finnish a pop quiz at work and I am stuck with these 3 Questions (out of 50). All the answers are the names of Bands or Artists. 1) Local name for the Staten Island Ferry? 2)70s Scottish band who got their name from a town in Utah? 3)Lower case Canadian. I thought No2 was The Bay City Rollers. but Bay City is in Michigan not Utah. any assistance greatly appreciated.

It probably IS the Bay City Rollers, though. You have to remember that most quizzes are really quite poorly researched. To have only one dodgy question in 50 is little short of miraclous.

Lower case Canadian is probably k.d.lang who famously never uses capitals in her name.

Thanks Jen. I think you could be right about the Rollers, and I didn't know that about K.D....sorry k.d.lang

am intrigued about the ferry one but cannot find the answer after a brief web search. best advice i can offer is go to http://www.siferry.com/ and there is an email address at the bottom of the page of a guy who maintains this website all about the ferry. maybe he could help if you ask nicely? if you do find out, post the answer!

Could the Staten Island Ferry one be Manhatten Transfer?

[PhilLew]

Good call JAW, that was the only posible answer we could come up with, and you have suggested the same without any prompting (so it's not just my twisted mind). I still can't find a difinitve link between the two on the web, if anyone finds proof please post a link. all help gratly appreciated. (rja, I have E-mailed several NY sites including the siferry one and had no replys......yet. But I knew A.B wouldnt let me down)

I always thought that they 'Bay City' they were referring to was San Francisco. Shall I get my coat ?
